Uh - you play on my server and I've yet to see any PF groups excluding bards and machinists...I think you've over-exaggerating this a little considering you've made at least 3 threads about machinist, yet you don't even have the job unlocked according to your character data on the Lodestone? If you're a good player, you will be able to find a group regardless of chosen class.
